Day 1273: Relinquishing the control I know I don’t have

All you can do is all you can do you can’t make people say what they don’t want to say or do what they don’t want to do – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 1  : 25 PM on day 1273 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth, pray,   read Job 7, go to church – the sermon was titled “Temptation” the reverend said something I’ll never forget he said the devil tempts to ruin; God tests to triumph I hope I remember that the next time I’m tempted to do something even a little bit wrong –  publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature,   feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – Dawn O’Brien donated £23 today (thank you SO MUCH Dawn) which brings my total raised to $414.20 (thank you God I KNOW you were working through Dawn to answer my prayers I REALLY appreciate it).

 

This morning I realized yet again that all you can do is all you can do you can’t make people say what they don’t want to say or do what they don’t want to do.  Do you try to make people do what you want them to do knowing the only person you control is you?
